VERSE 1
I wore a cheap pair of sunglasses
To keep the sun out of my eyes
Cheap pair of sunglasses
Didn’t I look cute in my disguise?
Silver frames with purple lenses made my world (look) a pretty shade
My fashion statement was budget chic
Worth more than the price I paid
You voyeuristic perve
You haven’t got the nerve to look at me, right at me
Don’t think that I’m not on to you
You know I caught you looking I caught you slipping your hand down below
Don’t pretend you’re scratching cause everybody knows (what you’re up to)
CHORUS
With your cheap pair of sunglasses
Avert my gaze, avert my eyes (to keep us distanced from your eyes)
Cheap pair of sunglasses I can see through your disguise
Your dirty looks, your creepy stare
You wouldn’t know what to do if you got there
Take your cheap pair of sunglasses, and slither away.
It’s not so much what you wear, it’s how you wear it (2x)
VERSE 2
He was a young dreamer, young schemer
Wants to be a movie star
Worked all day at Starbucks, but tried his best to look the part
With his red beret tilted slightly
Cigarette hangs (unlit of course)
Cause those things don’t come cheap
Yeah if you have the image: what you sow is what you reap
CHORUS 2
But with a cheap pair of sunglasses
He views the world with dreamy eyes
Cheap pair of sunglasses
He fools the world with his disguise
One day he’ll be a famous man
And trade those shades for ones by ray ban
For now those cheap pair of sunglasses will let him: dream away
Dream away, dream away, dream away...
It’s not what you wear, it’s how you wear it darling!
